We use Library of Congress headings for subject terms. This way they also match up (hopefully) with what is in our library catalog.

Subject: published authorities for mythological figures
Hello
I would like to call on the collective wisdom of the TMSers out there.
I am looking for published authorities (preferably online, ideally linked data) for mythological figures & creatures, religious figures and fictional figures (characters in books/plays).
We are giving unique identifiers to our local subject terms (the way the Getty vocabularies do) for linked open data purposes and rather than come up with our own ids I would rather reference authorized controlled vocabularies.
Thanks
Emmanuelle
